Brief Summary:
The use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial direct-current stimulation tDCS for rehabilitation of language is a growing field that needs further studies to determine how best it can be used to enhance treatment outcomes It has been shown that tDCS can improve language performance in healthy and brain-injured individuals such as increased naming accuracy
However at present it is not known what effect tDCS has on higher-level language skills like discourse production ie story telling giving instructions in healthy older speakers Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate in healthy older adults the effect of tDCS on discourse production as well as the ideal tDCS electrode placement for improving language at the discourse level It is hypothesised that tDCS will result in greater language changes and improvements during discourse production compared to no stimulation
